Chapter 63 Being teased
"It's about you." Wei Jingyuan didn't intend to hide it from her. "To be precise, Aunt Hehua came to remind you and me to be more careful of the Huang family. She said that the Huang family and the women of the Zhang family will definitely harm you."

"I understand." Tao Qiuyi didn't take it to heart at all and turned around to leave.

With such a cold reaction, she couldn't help but wonder if she wanted to rush to the Huang family to settle the score with the Huang family. After seeing her use violence to solve problems several times, Wei Jingyuan felt that she could do something bad.

"Tao Qiuyi." Wei Jingyuan stopped her and advised, "Even if you rush to the Huang family and beat up the Huang family, it won't solve the problem. The Huang family is notorious in the village for being unreasonable."

"Whether the Huang family is unreasonable or not, what does it have to do with me?" Tao Qiuyi stopped and turned to look at Wei Jingyuan. "Besides, when did I ever say I was going to the Huang family and beat up the Huang family?"

Wei Jingyuan paused, she really didn't say it.

With a turn of his eyes, Tao Qiuyi quickly understood what he meant. He was no longer in a hurry to leave and walked up to Wei Jingyuan.

Bending slightly to look Wei Jingyuan, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, Tao Qiuyi smiled faintly and asked, "Wei Jingyuan, am I such an impulsive and violent person in your eyes?"

Wei Jingyuan couldn't answer. His deep eyes looked into her clear eyes quietly. The faint fragrance coming from her was disturbing his mind.

He felt his heartbeat continue to quicken.

Because they were close, and Tao Qiuyi's hearing had improved, she could clearly hear his disordered heartbeat.

"Are you nervous?" Tao Qiuyi asked.

"No." Wei Jingyuan denied it too quickly, as if he was trying to cover up his mistake.

"If you're not nervous, then why are you blushing?" Tao Qiuyi asked again.

"I'm not blushing." Wei Jingyuan denied again.

Tao Qiuyi suddenly reached out and touched his face unexpectedly, exclaiming, "Oh, it's so hot."

Wei Jingyuan panicked and quickly raised his hands to cover his face. Where was he burned?

"I was kidding you." Tao Qiuyi retracted his hand and quickly ran out of the house. His arrogant voice came from the yard. "Wei Jingyuan, you're so easy to fool."

Wei Jingyuan in the room was so angry that his face turned black, but then he started laughing.

His hand covered the other side of his face that was touched by Tao Qiuyi. He was being teased by her.

"Xiao Huai, don't move." Tao Qiuyi noticed Xiao Huai looking at the dead tree and stopped him. He walked over and took the knife Xiao Huai used to chop wood. "It's getting late. I'll chop wood. You go to Fourth Uncle's house and get the pears for dinner."

Xiao Huai didn't fight with her. He knew how strong he was. He wanted to chop two such big dead trees into firewood, but he really couldn't do it in a short time.

Glancing at the backpack under the eaves, Xiao Huai asked, "Do you want some mushroom soup again?"

"I guess so. Let's drink snake meat and mushroom soup tonight." Tao Qiuyi took the axe and chopped down the dead branches to the ground.

Tao Qiuyi answered naturally, but Xiao Huai was frightened by her words.

"Snake...snake meat?" Xiao Huai asked.

"Yes." Tao Qiuyi didn't notice Xiao Huai's abnormality and urged him. "Don't worry about it, go and pick up the pears."

Xiao Huai was speechless. He glanced at Tao Qiuyi and left resignedly.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Tao Qiuyi put the two baskets woven by Xiao Huai into the ring space.

Then she continued to chop wood. She was strong and chopped wood quickly. When Xiao Huai and Li Zi came back, she had already chopped the two dead trees into firewood that could be burned.

On the way, Xiao Huai didn't tell Li Zi that tonight's dinner was snake meat and mushroom soup, for fear of scaring Li Zi. It turned out that he was overthinking it. Tao Qiuyi asked Li Zi to stew snake meat and mushroom soup, and Li Zi went to stew the soup without any fear.

Looking up at the sky speechlessly, Xiao Huai resigned himself to his fate and went to move the chopped firewood to the kitchen.

By the time the snake soup was ready and dark had settled, Tao Qiuyi filled two bamboo tubes with the soup and quietly carried them to the bamboo forest. He placed them at the entrance of the thatched hut along with a bag of flour, threw a stone to warn the people inside, and then returned the same way.

Hearing the noise, Mr. Tao opened the bamboo door to check. The bamboo forest was pitch black, without even a single person in sight. He thought it was another prank.

You sighed and as you were about to close the door you saw something on the floor.

Mr. Tao was stunned.

the next morning.

It was still early when Tao Qiuyi arrived in town, so he did not go directly to find the enthusiastic sister. Instead, he went to a state-owned restaurant and bought two steamed buns. He ate the buns while carrying the basket on his back and walked towards the scrap station.

She wanted to find textbooks for Li Zi and Xiao Huai.

I asked three people on the way and finally found the scrap yard.

An old man who looked to be in his sixties was working in the scrap yard. Tao Qiuyi explained her purpose and the old man didn't say much. He took her directly to the warehouse where books and newspapers were stored.

The old man said, "All the books and papers we collected are here. Maybe there's the textbook you mentioned, or maybe not. Find it yourself."

Look for it by herself? Looking at the messy pile of books and newspapers, Tao Qiuyi suddenly became worried. How should she find it?
Moreover, it is not certain whether it can be found.

"Uncle, how long have these books and papers been piled up?" Tao Qiuyi asked the most practical question.

The old man thought for a moment and held out his hand. "At least five years."

More than five years, that's it, there must be the book she wants, now the only problem is how to find it.

"Take your time to look for it. When you find it, bring it to the front and I'll weigh it for you." The old man said and left.

"Thank you, uncle." Tao Qiuyi thanked the uncle as he looked at his back as he left.

Putting the backpack outside the warehouse, Tao Qiuyi walked into the warehouse and looked at the books, newspapers, and paintings piled up like a mountain... paintings, there are paintings here?

Yes, nowadays people generally don’t have enough to eat, so who has the time to be pretentious?

Tao Qiuyi resigned herself to her fate and began to search. After more than ten minutes, she didn't find a single book, only a few calligraphy and paintings. Her patience gradually wore away. You know, apart from making pills, she was not a patient person in other matters.

Just when she wanted to climb to a higher place to look for the books, the pile of books collapsed. Tao Qiuyi turned over swiftly and landed steadily on the ground.

With a scream, a person slowly crawled out from the pile of books. No, it should be said that it was a child. The little boy was not very old, about seven or eight years old.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were down there." Apologizing when you get into trouble is a basic quality of being a human being.

"It's okay." The little boy smiled, his body suddenly staggered, and then he fell on the pile of books.

"Are you okay?" Tao Qiuyi didn't help the little boy, but just squatted beside him.

Only then did he notice that the little boy was pale and looked very weak.

"Xiaoshun." The old man's anxious voice came, and when he saw the little boy lying on the pile of books, he ran over directly.

"Grandpa, you are not feeling well. Please walk slowly. I am fine." Xiaoshun saw his grandfather running towards him and hurriedly reminded him.

Seeing the old man running towards him, Tao Qiuyi stood up and took a few steps back.

The little boy's name is Xiaoshun. Is there such a name? Tao Qiuyi thought of the names of the children in the village: Gousheng, Da Niu, Er Niu... It would be better to call him Xiaoshun.
